E: hello@hepworthwakefield.orgI’m really excited to have a stand at this year’s Hepworth Print Fair. I’ll be showing a selection of recent prints and artist books, along with a new range of greeting cards, available exclusively at the print fair, and afterwards through my Etsy shop.

Coming Soon…

I will soon be setting up a crowdfunding campaign to raise some funds for my upcoming artist residency at MI-LAB in Japan to learn Japanese Woodblock Printing (Mokuhanga). I can’t wait! More details to come. In the meantime, any money I make from sales of work will be going straight into the pot for that.

Lithography Exhibition at Tarpey Gallery

Posted: September 18, 2017 | Author: | Filed under: artists who use print, lithography, printmaking, stone lithgraphy | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , | Leave a comment

I’m really excited to be showing some new litho work in this group show at Tarpey Gallery in October. The common link is the lithography fellowship at Leicester Print Workshop, which was for me a transformative experience. 

The work I’ll be showing is all based on time spent lurking around Canadian woodland – noticing, observing, reflecting, and being present. 
There will be some fantastic work on show, highlighting the creative possibilities of lithography.
